A traditional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a steady, moderately modulated stroke. Capitals are sturdy and slightly compact, with crisp terminals and confident vertical stress; the bowls and counters are relatively open without feeling wide. Lowercase shows a conventional text rhythm with a moderate x-height, sturdy stems, and rounded joins; details like the two-storey forms and small, firm serifs reinforce a print-oriented feel. Numerals match the text color well, with clear, old-style-inspired shaping and strong baseline presence.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a stable serif texture is desirable. It can also serve effectively for headlines, section titles, and pull quotes when a classic, trustworthy tone is needed.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a formal, editorial voice. It reads as dependable and traditional rather than flashy, evoking printed literature, newspapers, and established institutional typography.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif optimized for comfortable continuous reading, balancing crisp serif detail with an even typographic color. The design aims for familiarity and clarity, providing a traditional voice for editorial and literary contexts.
Spacing and proportions create an even, authoritative texture in paragraph settings, with clean silhouettes that stay legible at text sizes. The serif treatment is assertive but not heavy, lending emphasis without drifting into slab-like sturdiness.
